Testimonial
"The Make a Good Choice" program is a great way to support character education as it not only teaches children about universally recognized and accepted human values such as respect and kindness, but also engenders their commitment to these values; enabling them to truly "walk the talk" of good character."

Description
Through original songs, stories and audience interaction, this Parents Choice Award winner takes his audience on an exciting journey back through Lou’s childhood!

Respect, tolerance, kindness and issues of bullying are also covered though-out the show.
